Dodał: World War Two
Who was the crying Frenchman seen in so many World War II documentaries, and why is he everywhere?
The man in the famous footage was Jérôme Barzotti, a shopkeeper from Marseille. On September 15, 1940, he was filmed crying in the streets as French regimental flags were paraded before being sent to Algeria after Frances defeat.
The moment was captured by cameraman Marcel de Renzis. A still image later appeared in Life magazine in 1941 - but it became truly famous when director Frank Capra used it in his 1943 propaganda film Divide and Conquer, part of the Why We Fight series.
Heres the twist: the footage was used alongside scenes of Paris.
That mistake stuck.
For decades, the crying Frenchman was widely assumed to be in Paris, even though the scene actually took place in Marseille. The image was repeatedly reused, often mislabeled, because it perfectly captured the emotional weight of Frances defeat in 1940.
So the reason you see him everywhere?
Because one mans grief became the symbol of an entire nations loss in World War II, even if the details were wrong.
